Anyone here experience basically a droning exhaust when you drive around the city.
My car sounds great at idle, great rev'd up loaded or not, but in general city driving under light to 'normal' driving loads it basically has a rather annoying drone.
I am trying to figure out if this is normal, there do not appear to be any leaks in the mufflers, but I could be mistaken.

Maybe a rear hub?

 

I have looked,but not studied, it strikes me when it is idling that there is too much noise under the car, as opposed to just out the tailpipes.

I'm going to feel around for leaks in the muffler itself, is this common?
My 1st impression is not, as since stainless exhaust's started being factory norm, I have never had an issue.

Why do they rust from the TOP??
In anycase, the one muffler on ebay right now is the left......

i have 2 s-type r mufflers in the garage but the pipping that goes into the mufflers has been modified so they dont bolton.

 

I have some inquiries out on one or two.
Being you are from Arizona, they are probably in good shape.
How 'modified' is the pipe, want to send a picture.
What is fair $ for them?
They are probably about 10lbs each?

Pete.
Look in the private for sale section.
RobGardenerBlack is selling his stock STR mufflers.
He is in California (I think)

 

Pete, indeed I do have two (2) mufflers from a 2003 STR. I am in the central CA area.

Please PM if interested.

 

Wow, a no brainer - got one new muffler installed and what a difference.
Primarily as I have only been driving since March, NOW I know what 'normal' sounds like!
